Thank you to everyone for all the wonderful comments on last Friday's post featuring the Scrap Quilt. It sounds like most of you keep your scraps, and that some of you have a very significant scrap stash! Oh how envious I am! The possibilities are endless -

Finished Quilt measures: 36.5 inches x 36.5 inches

The back is pieced also:

Beautiful blues, greens and a major splash of yellow are featured in the quilt back which compliments the bright colorful front of the quilt, and also makes it fully reversible.

I again used Matilda's Own cotton batting which is a great product to work with. It is also quite thin, does not make the quilt look overly puffy, and allows the quilt to drape nicely.

Quilted by simple cross hatch, and just in case you are wonder, I do mark the quilting lines. I like using a Clover Chaco Liner always in White as it leaves no residue or mark on the quilt, whereas my experience with the blue and pink markers are not as favorable.

This quilt is now for sale in myEtsy Store. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Oh I wondered how you cross hatched. It always looks so perfect. I'm about to try masking tape but I'll keep an eye out for the other. This quilt is such a delight - it makes me happy particularly because of its origins on the 'scrap pile'.

Rita - I'm just living my sewing life vicariously through you these days. My youngest starts back to school in about a week...until then, since I don't have time to create, I zip over to your blog and ooh and aah at all of your lovely creations.

Your quilt turned out gorgeous. A question on construction. I have seen this type of block made by sewing long strips, sewn together that then are cut to size. Since this is a scrappy quilt, did you make each block individually?

It's funny, I love this quilt but my favorite part is in the second photo, the blue flowers in the lower left have some blue space above them. I don't know why, but that space keeps drawing my eye. You can tell it's not a regular repeating fabric, it's a border type fabric. Lovely!
